Rezensionen

"Anyone interested in developments in epistemology over the past 50years cannot ignore Sosa's work, and the discussions heremake possible a fuller appreciation and understanding ofSosa's achievements and place in recent epistemology."Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"This is an excellent collection of essays. It illuminatesnot only Sosa's philosophical work, but also a large part ofcontemporary epistemology."

Anil Gupta, University ofPittsburgh

"In conclusion, it seems that Sosa's virtue epistemology offersa promising line in solving some perennial problems. It overcomessome important deficiences of its predecessors, and at the sametime integrates some advantages of the old paradigms." MarinaBakalova, Central European University
